Clever and character-driven in ways that Statham films aren’t often allowed to be, this is a unique movie in his filmography. Saffron Burrows plays a woman who is blackmailed into leading an operation to retrieve a safety deposit box that contains compromising photos of Princess Margaret, and she calls in Statham to lead the team to pull it off. Roger Donaldson directed Jason Statham to one of the best performances of his career in this heist movie based on the true story of the 1971 Baker Street robbery. The Fast Saga wishes it was this extravagantly thrilling. As Shiv comes into powers he never knew he had, he will challenge the ruler and try to restore just balance to the kingdom, but along the way you’ll learn about the origins of each man and how they’re connected by destiny.
One is the humble but revered Shiv, and the other is the power-mad king, Bhallaladeva. This two-part epic Indian period piece will give you nearly six hours of huge action set-pieces, hand-to-hand combat, gravity defying feats of daring-do, and vibrant musical numbers as it follows the saga of two mighty men at war for a kingdom. Baahubali (The Beginning and The Conclusion) Dave Bautista stars as the leader of a ragtag group of former soldiers who are tasked with breaking into the zombie-overrun city of Las Vegas to retrieve millions in a safe under the city.
Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, and the result is a bit of mindless undead fun. The divisive Zack Snyder returns to the world of zombie action years after his breakthrough with a remake of George A. Both men are great, but this is an awesome ensemble piece with great supporting work from a dozen or so character actors. Denzel Washington plays this loose variation on the life of Frank Lucas, a legendary criminal who revolutionized the drug trade Russell Crowe plays the detective who brought him down. Ridley Scott directed this epic gangster pic that saw two of the most charismatic actors of their generation work together on their first major project (no offense, Virtuosity fans). The opening car chase alone almost plays like a parody of Bay’s past movies, and the film’s tongue-in-cheek nature is the best thing about it. What happens when you give an action-crazed lunatic like Michael Bay the freedom of budget and running time of Netflix? This chaos, a movie that no one would call great - not even the people who made it - but that does certainly scratch an itch for B-movie insanity with an A-movie budget.
